Using Application Recovery and System Recovery

Before using the HP Pavilion System Recovery or Application Recovery program, use System Restore.

System Restore

Warning: Try System Restore before using the HP Pavilion System Recovery

program.

If software on your hard drive accidentally gets erased or damaged, first use the Microsoft System Restore feature in Windows XP to restore the computer system and program settings.

System Restore returns the computer settings to a selected restore point without affecting user programs or document files. For more information, type System Restore into the Search box in Help and Support.
